    I decided to change my stock cpu for a liquid cooler to lower temperatures on my CPU and this does the job! Love how much quieter it is.

    Best for overclocking CPU

    I overclocked my Ryzen 5 2600x because I wanted the best experience when gaming. The stock cooler had the cpu temperatures around 75c. With this water cooler, the CPU temperatures never past 45c during hours of gaming at max settings. The program I was using to measure the temperatures was MSI command center. Even the moment I would stop gaming, I went straight into BIOS and temperatures always said CPU temp. 42c. When using the PC for standard usage (YouTube, studying), CPU temperatures stayed between 32c - 37c.

    Great AIO Cooling Option for Gaming Computers

    I recently purchased an i7-9700k processor and a huge 11GB MSI 1080ti 352bit GPU. At the time I only had the Hyper 212 EVO air cooler for my CPU and two built-in case fans. My idle temps on air cooled were about 35c idle and in new games on high/ultra settings it would get up to high 70's and the max it got up to in Doom Eternal was 81c. I decided my case needed more air flow and I needed a water cooling system. I bought this one on sale for $129 right before it sold out. It took me 3 hours to install because I had to remove the old fan cooler, remove stock pc fans and clean the PC. It was extremely easy to install this water cooling system. I have a Phantek P400 case. This AIO cooler brought my max temps down between 5-10 Celsius. Doom Eternal maxed at 75 and went no higher(Ultra settings), Castle Wolfenstein 65c(Uber settings). I am using Core Temp program to monitor temperatures. I also bought two 120mm Insignia case fans from Best Buy for $9 a piece and put them on top of my case for exhaust. I don't have any other RGB Corsair fans but you can link them all together and make some great looking RGB computers. When you install the unit and turn on the computer, you need to go download the Corsair iCue software. PLEASE NOTE - by default the cooler performance is set to quiet which means the fans are on the lowest RPM settings. The iCue software allows you to choose preset RPM profiles or make your own. I made my own an applied them to the cooler. The Software also allows you to manage the RGB lighting, create profiles for all your settings, you can even set it to display a certain color when temps reach a certain level and much more. Overall, this was one product I am very happy with so far. I am only a few days in but it is working out very well. I recommend you get this if you are looking for a great water cooling system for a decent price. There are other options out there that will provide better cooling but they cost a lot more. Lastly, I want to point out that I have my fan profile pretty much on Extreme settings and with the two additional case fans I installed on top of my PC, it isn't loud at all. I am actually surprised how quiet everything is. It was much louder with my Hyper 212 on max RPM. Pros -Great Value (on sale $129) -Great cooling for my i7-9700k at 4.9Mhz -280mm with x 2 140mm radiator fans. -Easy installation -RGB on pump looks great inside case -Corsair iCue software is easy to use -It is extremely quiet. Cons -I can't really think of anything that was bad or has gone bad with the system. I don't have any complaints.

    After installing the 120mm H60 in a friends pc I was very impressed with the quality ease of installation form and function I decided to go for the H115i 280mm RGB for my own and again I'm very impressed I have it at the front of my case Tt v200 drawing in the coolest air it already has 3 low speed 120mm RGB intake fans and used the dual cosair 120mm fans on the rear of the radiator in a push/pull set up my full load bench temps don't get over 53°c the RGB function is very customizable with corsair iCue software and syncs up with my corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 I am very impressed with the performance and quality for the price, I was going to do my own custom liquid cooling set up that may have performed even better but I was looking $500 and I'm glad I went with this AIO

    This cooler is quiet and keeps my CPU cooler than an air cooler. Just make sure it fits in the case you have as it is pretty large. Installation can be a bit difficult with an AMD processor until you realize you must partially flip the lever in order to attach the unit.

    This AIO was replacing a H100i and wow this is great upgrade. Computer is running 15db quieter while maintaing around 27c with no load and 41 under load (old but faithful overclocked 4770k ) The cooler is only $20 more than the 240mm and well worth it. 3 months with no issues.

    Does a very good job at cooling down my i7 8700k. I am getting frame rate boosts because of the lower temperatures and boost clock. Setup is not too difficult as long as you follow the instructions. Really nice fans and lighting! Also very quiet and good software to control everything.

    This was my first AIO install attempt. It was very simple to understand and install from beginning to end. Runs whisper quiet. Temps stay cool even under load. The H115i pro i bought was on sale in store for $99.99. What a steal!

    Works great! My old one started failing so I picked up this one and even when my old was new my CPU ran hotter. With this one my CPU temp is only about 1-2C above ambient. I OC'd my CPU to 4.7 and the temp was still below 50c. The CPU (6700k) wasn't stable but the temp was great. Remember there are settings in the iCue software to change the fan profile. I think the default is quiet for the fans and balanced for the pump. I could could only hear a slight change in the fans and no change in the pump even though the software showed a reduction in temp and increase in speed. I am very satisfied with this product. FYI the old Corsair was still within the 5 yr warranty and Corsair stood behind it and is sending a replacement. Great company!

    Was able to push Ryzen 5 1600 to 4.0 GHz with ease. Temps stayed fairly cool and the RGB was a nice added bonus. Came ready with an AM4 mounting bracket and installing it was a breeze.

    Installed this as an intake into the case. Everything runs nice and cool. Under full load I rarely reach 45°C. when paired with a 9700k at stock frequency. This thing is quiet and clean. The Led is nice too, lots of customization for the color scheme.

    Not bad for a 280mm Radiator. Cools my i9 9900K Cpu that is overclocked to 5 Ghz. idle sits around 32* and ingame between 46 and 60* Granted still new to OC. so I am sure I can optimize Voltage. just haven't tried lowering it and stress testing. Voltage is at 1.350 Volts OC on all cores to 5ghz. It does look Rather small in a Corsair 570X mounted at the front. But their is plenty of tubing to reach it. Over all really nice AIO
